The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships and The Graduate school invites current Juniors who intend to apply to graduate school in Fall 2016 to attend a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Predoctoral Fellowship workshop on Tuesday, April 5th. in HBL Class of 1947, 3-4pm.
The focus of this workshop is on applying to and winning prestigious fellowships such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship program (http://www.nsfgrfp.org/), the National Defense Science and Engineering Fellowship (http://ndseg.asee.org/), Hertz Foundation Physical, Biological and Engineering Sciences Fellowship (http://www.hertzfoundation.org/).
The workshop will help students understand the application components; will provide tips on how to best address NSF selection criteria of “intellectual merit” and “broader impacts.”
